Recenzje

"The volume makes fascinating reading and is a valuable reference for all earthquake seismologists. The book belongs in all technical and university libraries, and in the private libraries of those interested in earthquakes." --Geophysics

"Contains valuable information for earthquake seismology. As we extend our knowledge of the earthquake record to include increasingly older events, this information contained here will become invaluable for locating the necessary data." --Pageoph
